A battle of fate that was known to everyone, a memory with endless stories to tell, Sergey Bondarchuk stood on the top of the mountain reflecting on the war, looking down on Napoleon and Wellington, a battle without a winner, Familiar and detailed interpretation into the soul-stirring.

Needless to say about skills, the choice of camera positions, the mastery of rhythm, the scheduling of scenes, and the dialogue without a single nonsense...

It is no accident that the whole story begins when Napoleon was forced to abdicate. The tone of the tragic hero is thus set. Whether it was for the honor of France or for his personal pride, which he would rather die than give up, made such a vast sacrifice, one cannot help but wonder. With his open right hand on the line of life and death, his fragile expression before the final battle, and through Orson Welles' precise and sophisticated interpretation, Sergey Bondarchuk made Napoleon a god full of weaknesses but still admirable. The unremitting efforts to focus on Wellington once again showed the wisdom of the master: a person's greatness is never confirmed by the insignificance of his opponents.
